Do you love a good chat over a cuppa? Then you\'d make a wonderful Tea Party Host!

Our monthly tea parties are a lifeline for people aged 75 and over who feel cut off from their community. An afternoon of tea, cake and conversation can make the world of difference - and that\'s where you come in.

As a volunteer host, you\'ll open your home (or a local community space) once or twice a year on a Sunday afternoon to welcome a group of local people - usually between 4-9, including our guests, volunteer drivers and a group coordinator.

If you can offer a warm smile, a welcoming space and the ability to put the kettle on, we\'d love to hear from you.

Benefits

What skills do I need?

We’re looking for tea party hosts who have:

• Good entertaining skills
• A friendly nature
• Good listening skills
• Good conversation skills
• Basic understanding of food hygiene
• Patience and understanding
• A passion for improving the lives of lonely and isolated older people
• Basic computer skills (our inductions, checks and training are all online and our charity is paperless)
